Solve the system with three variables by Cramer's Rule.
-2x -y -3z = 3
2x -3y +z = -13
2x -3z = -11
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your matrix

        X1	X2	X3	b
1	-2	-1	-3	3
2	2	-3	1	-13
3	2	0	-3	-11


Write down the main matrix and find its determinant

        X1	X2	X3
1	-2	-1	-3
2	2	-3	1
3	2	0	-3

Δ = -44


Replace the 1st column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant

        X1	X2	X3
1	3	-1	-3
2	-13	-3	1
3	-11	0	-3

Δ1 = 176


Replace the 2nd column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant

        X1	X2	X3
1	-2	3	-3
2	2	-13	1
3	2	-11	-3

Δ2 = -88


Replace the 3rd column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant

        X1	X2	X3
1	-2	-1	3
2	2	-3	-13
3	2	0	-11

Δ3 = -44


x1 = Δ1 / Δ = 176 / (-44) = -4
x2 = Δ2 / Δ = (-88) / (-44) = 2
x3 = Δ3 / Δ = (-44) / (-44) = 1


Solution set:

x1 = -4
x2 = 2
x3 = 1

Solved.
